Dear Firefox Team, since updating, I've been enjoying the new Firefox View function. Sadly, as I'm using a few tweaks here and there (vertical tree tabs, modified chrome.css to remove horizontal tabs, etc.), its not visible at the place where it originally belongs. Because of that I'm searching for a way to include it in my workflow. To do this, I've made it my Homepage, and now, I'm trying to change it to my NewTab page as well. I find it more useful than clicking on a random website. I have tried to achieve this with addons and inside about:config; but as you know, "about:newtaburl" has been removed a long time ago.

Do you have an Idea how I could achieve this, or do you think it would be possible to create an option to this in a future release?

Thank you for reading my message, who knows maybe I can give you an Idea

Why have the English date format questions been archived without an adequate response? I, too, have Firefox English GB version and my Windows date format settings are dd/mm/yyyy but Firefox still uses the American format. This is not rocket science!! Please sort this out.

How can I get certain bookmark folders from a backup json file ? I don't want to restore everything.

For example my Work bookmarks don't need to be same as home bookmarks, but I may need some of them. I can't copy paste each one manually.

Thanks in advance

bold text My FF web pages are way too wide and I have to scroll all the time from side to side, to see the whole page, back and forth! Hate it! Not workable. Not only that, the menu texts (not the fonts on the page) are way too small, unless I reduce the whole page with the limited percentage size, and then none of it is readable to me. For a while 67% size helped but not even that works right and I am CONSTANTLY trying to adjust things so I can see them! It used to work great and now it is a CONSTANT BATTLE TO FUNCTION!

When I click to check for updates, it starts and the little wheel just goes around and around endlessly. This just started today; I've been able to check for updates every day without a problem. Is Firefox having a problem with checking updates?

I have two audio devices for audio output (speakers) on my PC. One is for music and the other is a Jabra device for conferences. When using Google Meet, only one of the devices is available to me (the music speakers). What is strange is that when I am using Zoom or Teams both devices are available and selectable.

Echo cancellation would be better if I could use the Jabra device for Google Meet calls.

I am using Firefox / Windows 11 (Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621).

Thanks in advance!

I have tried both Google Authenticator and Guardian for use with Mozilla 2FA. I have tried scanning the QR code on my PC multiple times on each authentication app and retrieving multiple codes each time, but all entries stated "incorrect 6 digit code" on my PC to enable 2FA. I am not sure how this is not working. Both authenticator apps identified my correct login email address associated with my Mozilla account so I know it must have something to do with whatever is happening on the back end at Mozilla for my account.

Also, I have read a few posts in the Mozilla support knowledgebase regarding this very same issue, but did not see any resolution. I would really like to have 2FA. Can someone please contact me about this?

Hi Today I updated Firefox to version 106.0 and I can't get rid of the "arrow button" from top right (screenshot attached - near the minimize button, I marked it). The function of this button is clear for me - tabs management. But I can manage my tabs without special button for it. I want to remove it. I tried right clicking on it, but the "remove from toolbar" option is unavailable. I tried to customize toolbar, but it won't work either (I can't take it from te toolbar).

How to remove this button?

I am changing my email addresses and will eventually delete the email address I initially opened my FF account with. Recently I added my new email address and set it as the primary email address for my FF account. I noticed thereafter that all my bookmarks were gone. I reverted my primary email address to the original one and all the bookmarks returned. How can I retain my bookmarks whilst updating my primary email address? Also, will other settings and features disappear when changing the primary email address? (I noticed that my add-ons remained the same.) Thanks.

After installing the new version 106.01, restoring recently closed windows in History doesn't work even though it is highlighted as being active, but nothing shows or happens when pointing at and clicking on "Recently Closed Tabs".

(I accidently closed one of my two windows and therefore lost all my tabs.) (I know I can restore the tabs one by one, but that will be a huge task.

So what can I do to restore my lost Firefox window?

Thanks in advance. Jens Giertsen Denmark

Firefox just updated itself to v106 (x64). Opening Microsoft outlook web mail (https://outlook.office.com/mail/) gives me the opening envelope between 5 & 10 times, then an error screen that says "multiple redirects detected". Hitting the 'refresh' link works fine, and no trouble after that, so maybe a sign in issue? Seems to be a new problem; didn't happen yesterday.

So basically I just did a fresh install of windows on my computer due to performance issues, but before I did it, I made sure to save all of my passwords from firefox in a .csv file, but when I was finally done with reinstalling windows and firefox, there was no option to import my passwords back from the .csv file, and upon further research, you guys disabled the feature to import from .csv files, I just need a way to get my passwords back

Today a Firefox box popped up to try some new colors (which was suppose to be a representation of my being or something like that). There were several colors to choose from so I tried it. The menu bar is now the color I chose. But suppose I want to change back to the standard FF color or some other color, how do I do that?

Lately using Firefox, the audio is not syncing with video on Xfinity streaming. The audio seems to precede the video by about a half second or so. When I first load a video, it works properly, but I finally discovered that the delay occurs only after I mute the audio using the "PLAYING/MUTE TAB" button. Before muting, audio is in sync with video. But when I use it once to mute, after un-muting the audio is out of sync. The only way to get the audio back in sync with video is to reload the video source. This does not happen when viewing YouTube, nor does it happen with Xfinity when using the Chrome browser. I first noticed this about 2 months ago. Before that, I had been using Firefox for years to watch MSNBC in a minimized window, muting during commercials. Unmuting used to cause no problems. I'm wondering if this problem is unique to something in my installation or if it is a Firefox problem.
